Sesame Street Character List | By Kenny Leones

Sesame Street is a children’s show loved by many for ages. It has gained its popularity through the characters that liven up every segment, every part of the show. The reason it remains to be America’s #1 television program for kids can be seen through this Sesame Street character list. Read on for the roundup of the most famous, most loved creatures.

Big Bird – He is yes, the big yellow bird. He’s been on the show since its pilot airing and many kids instantly remember him if they hear Sesame Street.

Elmo – He sure holds the topmost spot in this famous Sesame Street character list. This red, funny Muppet is popular among children and adults alike.

Bert – He was Ernie’s best friend and still is. Aside from Ernie, Bert also loves pigeons and paper clips.

Working Mother - Subscription Working Mother supports and empowers today's working moms in their pursuit of sucess - however they define it. We celebrate the complexity, humor and richness inherent in being a real working mom. And we salute the joys of getting it right (most of the time) in the greatest balancing act of all.

Ernie – Ernie is to Bert as bread is to butter. They are the well-loved duo. One cannot be around without the other or at least, essence of the other.

Kermit the Frog – This Muppet is one of the pioneers of the show and definitely deserves to be on this Sesame Street character list even when he is long been gone. His last appearance on the show was in 2001, in episode 3976. He was since retired due to technicalities. Good thing for us, Kermit continuously appear in other shows. True enough, no one is able to resist his charm!

Bob “Robert” Johnson – This guy is a regular. He has been onboard since Sesame Street started and until now as it reaches its golden year. At present, Bob is a music teacher. But he is more popularly known as one of the very few humans who were able to invade Oscar’s trash can.

Dr. Gina Jefferson – She is a long time employee at the Hooper’s Store who is now a veterinarian. Gina practically grew up in the show. She was just a teen when she first joined in and now she’s all grown up and mature, handling more complicated matters than before.

Grover – He is a good contradiction to Cookie because he is shy. Uh-oh, don’t get me wrong, Grover is a confident blue monster. He just does not show off as much.

Cookie Monster – We all know him as the monster who loves cookies. From then and until now, he still is.

Oscar the Grouch – To put it simply, he is a grouch who lives in a trash can that’s located near the Sesame Street apartment building. Very few people were allowed to get into Oscar’s world down there and most of those who were never really liked the experience.

Are You a TV Series Collection Junkie? | By Maxim Smirnov

It was only a matter of time before your favorite TV series came to DVD. And once they did, you got to jump back into your past and enjoy series that have been off the air for years. But once you begin to collection TV series, it can be difficult to stop. As a result, you might find that you have more DVDs in your house that you though you could ever collect. You might want to consider ways to organize your TV series collection as you add to it, while also making sure your collection is filled with hits and not with DVDs that just take up space.

Adding to Your Collection

When you start your TV series collection, it can be hard to stop. After all, most shows have more than one season already on DVD. The best plan for you is to look at buying the series in sequential order. This way, you can easily tell what series you need to buy next and what series you might be missing. You can find these TV series collections online and in local media retailers. If you’re having a hard time finding some series, you might want to go to the TV channel websites where the show originally aired to see if they are selling the series exclusively through the channel website. You can also find these TV series on auction websites as some series are only released in some countries and not in others.

What Series Do You Choose Next?

Of course, once you’ve filled up your TV series collection with one particular show, what do you do next? If you’ve already watched the series once, you might be eager to move on to something new, but perhaps related. Since channels tend to stick with similar shows, it’s a good idea to look into other TV series collections from that channel. See what else is popular among viewers or look to message boards from your favorite show to see what others are watching now that the show is over. You might be surprised at the answers you get from others around the world.

Sticking with Certain Actors and Genres

Of course, it might just be easier to stick with the same actors and genres when looking for a new TV series collection. Since the actors are often what make a show so special, look for other shows the actor may have been in. In addition, if you like the medical genre, for example, there are plenty of different medical TV series from which to choose. And even though they might all take a different angle, they certainly will be more likely to entertain you if you’re already a fan of the genre.

With DVD inventory software, you can keep better track of your TV series collection, especially when you begin to add multiple series to your DVD shelves. While it might seem like you can remember every episode, over time, that might be less and less the case – no matter how many times you’ve watched the shows.

How to Wall Mount a Plasma Or Lcd on a Plasterboard Wall | By Colin Shambrook

This is the way I wall mount a plasma or LCD TV on a plasterboard wall.

Firstly fit the tv bracket to the TV, ignore the wall mount part at this stage. Follow the bracket manufacturers instructions on what screws to use and use any washers supplied. Make sure the screws are tight but not over tight. The brackets I use are the long rail type which will most likely span two beams in a stud plasterboard wall.

Next decide where about on the plasterboard wall you want to mount the TV. Mark the center position on the plasterboard wall and a line where you want the bottom of the plasma to be. I use a spirit level to do this. If you are mounting it over a fireplace mark the middle of the mantelpiece and use the spirit level to take the line vertically up to where the center of the wall mount will go. To get the height of the wall mount, measure from the bottom of the plasma screen to the top of the “hook” part of the TV bracket. Now transfer that measurement to the wall. Measure from the line where you wanted the bottom of the screen to go to the distance you measured. This will ensure you get the plasma TV at the height you wanted it to be.

Now offer up the wall mount to the center line and the measured line for the height. Using your spirit level to make sure the wall mount is straight. Mark the holes on the wall.

There are two types of plasterboard wall. One is “dot and dab” where the plasterboard is stuck to the blockwork using an adhesive. The other is stud wall. You can tell if you have dot and dab by tapping the plasterboard wall. If there are solid sounding parts of the wall about 600mm apart then it is dot and dab. This is the preferable place to drill the holes. The reason for this is that when you tighten the screws the plasterboard doesn’t pull in and crack. Normally if the bracket covers a couple of these solid bits then you will be OK. Make sure you fix the tv bracket here. If the TV bracket doesn’t span two solid dabs then maybe you need a professional!

If the plasterboard wall is a stud wall, when you mark the tv bracket holes hopefully you will find at least one studs to fix to and therefore take the weight of the plasma or lcd. One is usually enough to take the weight seeing as most flat screen TV’s are so light these days. Put a couple of extra fixings in anyway to stop the bracket slipping out of level. I normally use the butterfly type fixings for this. Make sure you have a least a couple of fixings into the wood though, if the wall was to get wet from a flood or leaking pipe and you didn’t have fixing into wood the plasma or LCD would hit the deck!

When you are sure you have good fixings and the wall bracket is level you can hang your TV up.
